The decor is like a restaurant in NY, Melbourne or Europe and they have added detail with sophistication yet it appears simple and sleek lines with subtle lighting that gives a great atmosphere. There are different areas to sit from the bar to lounge, table seating or a small outdoor area.

Drawing heavily on Italian tradition, Locale Noosa offers a seasonally changing menu using the best in local produce and premium imported ingredients. Surrounded by lush gardens, Locale Noosa sits in a protected corner of Hastings Street just a few steps from the golden sands of Noosa Main Beach. Our seasonal menu features handmade pasta, traditional italian antipasti and desserts alongside an impressive selection of wines, beers and cocktails.

    Have been going to Locale over the course of 4 years. Standard of food has dropped. Cocktails are weak now and tasteless. The ambience and decor makes it seem like a top notch restaurant but the quality of food does not match. Service can be on and off depending on staff. Disappointed, won’t be back for the price paid ie. $200 per head.

    Upon entering, the ambience was striking. Locale is quite a large restaurant but remarkably intimate at the same time, accommodating both large groups and couples such as ourselves. The food was impeccable with our favourite being the anchovies for entree. Our seconde pasta meals were also a delight. Most impressive was the service: the staff were knowledgeable, helpful, attentive but discreet. We did not think twice about leaving a tip. What a delightful experience. Dining at Locale will be at the top of our list when we next visit Noosa.
